Procedure for transfer, expulsion, and reinstatement of studies
The process of transfer and reinstatement of studies in state higher education institutions is carried out free of charge.
The list of related fields of study in the higher education system is approved by the State Commission for Admission to Educational Institutions.
When transferring or reinstating students of higher education institutions, fields (specialties) are considered corresponding if their names match.
In state higher education institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan, internal transfer is allowed only for two valid reasons:
1. If a student gets married and applies for a transfer to a university located in the region of the spouse's permanent residence;
2. If a government employee changes their place of work, their spouse or minor child may apply for a transfer (based on the recommendation of the head of the relevant ministry/department).
In all other cases, internal transfer is not allowed.
When transferring from foreign higher education institutions (external "transfer"):
To transfer to a corresponding or related field of study for programs that require special abilities from the student, it is necessary to obtain a passing score on the results of professional (creative) exams, and for other fields — based on the results of test trials. Professional (creative) exams are conducted by the relevant university, and test trials — by the State Testing Center (STC).
Students who score below the passing score are allowed to transfer based on a differentiated paid (contract) form of education.
Transfer to an unrelated or non-related field of study is not allowed.
Transfers from foreign and non-governmental universities of Uzbekistan are carried out in accordance with the procedure for transfer from foreign universities.
Transfer to a bachelor's program, which is not corresponding or related, is possible with a one-time payment of the differentiated paid contract (super-contract) established for this field.
